Ever wonder what CarMax does with those cars they buy don't put on their resale lot? Check out this CarMax auction of rejects that just weren't good enough.
I've been a dealer for 17 years and you can always tell an inexperienced person buying cars at auction...The car is pretty and all that crap but BEFORE you even start that car up buddy, check ALL of your fluids in the engine, pull the transmission dip stick out and smell it to see if it has a burnt electrical smell, look at your oil dip stick to see if the oil looks like a chocolate milkshake for blown head gasket, listen at the engine running for misfires, knocking or lifters ticking, look under the car for leaks, bring a scan tool and check for any check engine codes or codes that the previous owner has cleared and to see if your drive cycles are clear....from my experience, the absolute worse cars on the planet to buy to sell are BMW, Nissan (ANY Nissan), Dodge (especially those P.O.S. Chargers and Challengers that people totally dog out and drag race from stop light to stop light), VW, and Audi. Any of those cars are shit cars and not worth buying to sell....But once again you are trying to buy a car on looks and cosmetics and you are doing it ass backwards dude.
I worked at Carmax in NC when they first opened. Employees were not allowed attend the auctions. There were usually some good cars rolling through their auctions!
It was nice that you visited this particular auction. There were a lot of nice cars out there so I wish you could’ve spent more time looking at them and your videos being much longer but thanks for what you do.
Was just looking for something delightful to watch while having my dinner and you came through! Thanks for making these videos, they're incredibly interesting to watch as an Estonian
Don't let the Rovers scare you too much! I bought a 2013 RR Sport supercharged 3 years ago with 103k miles. Had to fix the AC, but besides that I have put 25k miles on it and love the thing. Fast, very smooth on the highway, and I drive it on the beach. Thing goes anywhere. One thing about the RR supercharged engines. Once you drive them, a lot of other SUVs seem too slow!
I see an East Coast Classics video, I hit like. That Z4 must have been someone's weekend toy. It was clean! The 4-cyl makes it just a more expensive Miata with a better interior. We have the wonders of depreciation to thank for a beater Bentley that someone decided was just easier to dump at Carmax. The Intrepid was probably a senior citizen's car. Spotless inside but smoky, a nice exterior with just signs of age. It's a shame you missed out on it. The Range Rover looked good, but that's a car you drive for a few months and dump at the first sign of trouble. Almost $10k for a rebuilt Civic and a V6 automatic Mustang convertible? Prices are through the roof!
Dude this place sounds like a gold mine! Loved seeing the variety, even though it was heart breaking you didn't get that Intrepid (I woulda been all over that one as well). BTW we once owned a nearly identical 1998 4 banger Z3 like that one! If memory serves, the hood latch is underneath the center.
Carmax started providing selling amounts over the internet like Carvana. So over the past few months everyone has been dumping cars at Carmax and many locations did not do road tests or complete exams before the checks were issued. Some of the cars that failed later inspections are here.
I know I am a year late here but just found this channel and going thru his old videos. I sold a 2018 f150 to carmax 2 years ago that I brought at an estate auction 6 weeks earlier and walked out with a $5200 profit. Originally brought it to keep but by the time I got the title back in hand I decided I hated all the new crap on these newer vehicles so I took it to them. Maybe I should have tried selling it myself first but when they offered that and it was a nice profit already, I just took it.
I owned & operated a car dealership for 14 years; got old & retired. CarMax auctions are more legit! So much shady crap happens at most Dealer Only auctions, plus the auction fees got to be ridiculous. CarMax: No auction fees!!! Insurance Auto Auction (IAA), their fees are insane! 😩
Thanks for the vid. I'm currently used truck shopping man places are nuts these days. A dealer in MD where I'm from had truck for $6,899 after all said & done Taxes, two-year tags, inspection, title work, dealer fees told me it was $8,450. I ran away!!!
Chrysler Concorde, Eagle Vision and Dodge Intrepid. Yeah, the two tone pearl white with golden tan bottom looked good back in the day. Too bad you missed out on the Intrepid. They’re nice driving.
Hah! You should see my wife yank the selector down every time she goes from P or R to D in her 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan. I’m surprised it still works. Drives me insane
I’d love to see this be a weekly thing, I am an auction nut. I covered my eyes when you spent all that time on the Rover, (no, no, no!🤦♂️). That thing is beautiful though, there’s no denying it that. See you next time. 👊💯
That E is a fantastic car. The W211s drive great, have tons of space and that V8 flies. Not too hard to fix things either plus plenty of info on those.
Not sure about the older Z3, but the new Z4 requires you to pull the release under the dash TWICE to open the hood. There is no latch near the hood like other cars.
My mom had the Chrysler version of the intrepid. Engine was replaced by Chrysler 3 years.into owning it but it is still running for my sister 30 years later. I Love going to auctions also. Our body and paint prices in the west are.much more than yours.
You passed up the Toyota Avalon , and got excited over a dodge intrepid 😂 👀. People used to trade those things in every other week. We would never sell them to anyone . Nothing but problems. So to the crusher they all go !!! Rang rovers are nice to look at but that’s it . The temperature gauge just goes to hot whenever it wants to . We refuse to work on them . Thanks for the video !! 👍💪🔥🔥🔥💯💯
I know, I know. Pass on the Toyota for an old Chrysler LH. Crazy but than again my taste tends to drift well beyond the mainstream, haha. Thanks for watching!
I've never seen anyone else besides myself get excided about an Intrepid. I had a 95 base model with the 3.3. My parents bought it in Dec. 1995, as a used car, and I sold it in 2013 it had just over 300,000 mile then. I never heard of the first gen cars having sludge issues only the 2.7 in the second gen had a bad sludge issue.
The continental flying spur is basically a really expensive Audi A8 W12. I have a Passat and the hood latch on the Bentley is in the exact same spot, sadly.
I'm digging the Dodge Intrepid! Can't believe how many were on the road in the day and now it's rarer than a Lamborghini sighting. From one bald guy to another....wear a hat out there in the sun brutha!
@@mcmcgyver6792 like so many cars, especially Chrysler products, there were good and bad ones. My aunt had a first gen Intrepid and it was a great car for her. That being said my dad and I both at the same time bought new 1995 Neon coupes and his was great and reliable and mine was a massive POS 3 days into driving it off the lot.
The Intrepid with a 2.7 is a dog, would avoid at all costs. That one for $800 was a steal. That is a $2500 retail all day long in the market. And, here in NJ would qualify for classic car plates next year!
Good luck with this new angle. You really need to put them in gear if for nothing else to see if they move forward and backward. The Chrysler products of that time were known for bad transmissions.
@@hullinger I had one, in a 2002 Intrepid. Around 25K on it when I bought it, the second day I had it I changed the oil using full synthetic, and stuck with that the 6 or 7 years I kept it. No problems with sludge. IMO, full syn is the only way to be sure. There were class action lawsuits over this engine, don't know if they ever went anywhere.
Hey, I'm new to your channel.. kind of computer illiterate.. LoL.. But getting better.. I'm a Harford County MD guy.. So not too far.. I would really like too learn from you.. HUGE car guy.. Have a couple projects right now.. My 94 300tt for example... But I've been saying for yrs I want to get into auctions.. If you ever feel like teaching... Let know, I'm there.
I never realized that they had an auction appreciate the information
Dealers only, by approval.
Yes and it’s free to sign up all you need to be is a dealer
Everyone does, all these business do
Is there any way to get to buy those cars
I’m glad I got to come along for the ride. Thanks!

I worked at Carmax in NC when they first opened. Employees were not allowed attend the auctions. There were usually some good cars rolling through their auctions!
The start up scream from the Mercedes is normal. It’s the oil pump. A RUclipsr came up with a fix for it by changing out the gears.
E500 would have been my pick of the day.
I would like to see more auction videos, thanks for this one!
That E500 was the deal of the day, and that whine on start up is normal for those
It was nice that you visited this particular auction. There were a lot of nice cars out there so I wish you could’ve spent more time looking at them and your videos being much longer but thanks for what you do.
Keep em coming. Nobody else does this the way you do. A nice glimpse into the auction world with current ridiculous pricing. Thanks
It’s the 2.7 that had the oil sludge problem.
All of these seemed like good candidates for Tylers Hooptie fleet.
Haha, so true, especially that Bentley.
Keep them coming! I really love your vids
Thanks! Will do!
Great walk around! Love the preview and the final sale! Cool lot to check out!
Thanks for watching!
Great video would love to see more. Had no idea CarMax had an auction.
Was just looking for something delightful to watch while having my dinner and you came through! Thanks for making these videos, they're incredibly interesting to watch as an Estonian
So glad you found my little channel and thanks for that.
This was awesome and I loved the variety of cars you looked at. Great video.
Thank you very much, John. I appreciate you stopping by this morning!
@@hullinger always. Now come buy my Aston and we can get lunch. Lol.
@@hullinger how can I purchase a car I have in mond
Great to see you again! Love the auction views. PS, sent you an email recently.
These are awesome please keep making these if you can!!!!
I always enjoy your auction videos. Especially the Carmax ones.
Thanks bud and glad you like them! I'll be back at CarMax is a couple weeks for more.
I’ve seen two of your videos, you have grown on me , mostly your positive attitude. So, I am now a subscriber !
So glad you checked out some of my videos and you're liking what you're seeing. Welcome aboard!

Interesting. I hope see more of this from you. Thanks.

My heart goes out to you seeing you out there on that sunny day without your hat! Sacrificing yourself for our viewing pleasure. :-)
Haha, I do it for the views!
@@hullinger Glad you have fun! We have fun watching you out there.
Great video. Never knew Carmax did auctions. Love the Intrepid! I'd have liked that one.
I liked that Intrepid too. I'm bummed I missed out on the bidding. I just didn't get logged in early enough to bid but would have for $800.
Bro, great video, great info. Fantastic job…
I learned that if you get out of a running car roll down one of the windows first.
You couldn’t pay me to take that Bentley.
Haha, I hear ya and don't disagree with you. For the right price though, yeah, I'd be a buyer.
Didnt know that Jeff Bezos is doing business in cars

Wow, really good point. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing
Carmax gave me $23k for my 5 year Honda that I paid $25k for! Definitely a buyers market currently
@ 18:12, did anyone ever drive that style Mustang? ...Awful headrests

Great video
You killed that grasshopper
That Intrepid is really cool
The way he handles the interior of these vehicles I wouldn't let him even sit in my car.
You gotta make sure everything works before you buy
I thought the same thing. Hes so rough with everything.
Hah! You should see my wife yank the selector down every time she goes from P or R to D in her 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan.
I’m surprised it still works.
Drives me insane
Love it nice video,good luck 🍀
I like car instructors, I like it very much👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✅🚘🚙
Great video very informative
Glad you liked it
Damn Jeff bezos is going to buy all the cars.
Fantastic channel - please keep going 💪
Thank you! Will do!

You're so right about the Range Rover. That and the Bentley would have been really bad decisions for me but dang they're sexy.
That Intrepid was my favorite car there hands down! It was a shame that you could not get it.
That E is a fantastic car. The W211s drive great, have tons of space and that V8 flies. Not too hard to fix things either plus plenty of info on those.
@T Free The M113s are a bit whiny on startup. It's exacerbated when the PS pump is low on fluid. At worst there may be a PS leak hence the whining.
This was such a good video. I’m gonna look up if they do this in my area (nc) thanks.
You should and have fun!
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the visit.
More videos like this please ☺️🙏💯
Friend had a hand me down Chrysler Concorde in HS. Great car, awesome cruiser
Right on
It's a nice change from the State Auctions.
Not sure about the older Z3, but the new Z4 requires you to pull the release under the dash TWICE to open the hood. There is no latch near the hood like other cars.
another good video!
Thanks, great vid!
Glad you liked it!

I love those Chrysler LH cars and it's amazing 30 years later to still be on the road.
I think they were called Concorde
The silver Benz doesn't have a scrape on the Lowe driver's front fender it's just road tar
Good to see you again buddy good luck
Thanks bud and thanks for checking out the auction video today too!
Did you get your dealers license? Also, any update on our PPV warranties? =)
Ac works you had it set for heat. turn the knob to blue on dash
“There IS 80 cars?” How about “There ARE 80 cars?” The “there’s” improper use is abundant online. Thanks for the video.

THANK YOU
I believe the Z3 centre console was designed to accommodate a Traditional Car Phone .
The Mercedes was sweet, normal power steering whine at start up
thats what i love about your videos you let us know what it sold for thank you
Great video as always and how are you
On the Z3 I believe you had it on defrost, it didn't look like you had it on vent
I really enjoyed this one, I would love it to be a regular on the channel.
Thanks bud and yeah, I'm hoping to do a weekly auction video just like this one. Make it a routine occurrence just like you said.
I would probably be more careful taking coolant caps of random running vehicles 🔥
Wow interesting to see the pricing they go for that Benz wow

The continental flying spur is basically a really expensive Audi A8 W12. I have a Passat and the hood latch on the Bentley is in the exact same spot, sadly.
Scratch and sniff Suburban at $5k and the older than dirt Intrepid were the deals of the day there.
Insanely high but I agree with others there could be some real gems here.
10:10-10:14 RIP little guy… you will be missed, although we hardly knew you.
I did not know this!
The BMW Z3 check the rear differential mounting point to the body there know for sheet metal for the body to crack and separate
Great tip and thanks for sharing that. If another turns up at auction that will be the first place I look.
I'm digging the Dodge Intrepid! Can't believe how many were on the road in the day and now it's rarer than a Lamborghini sighting. From one bald guy to another....wear a hat out there in the sun brutha!

Intrepids are one of the worst cars ever made. Thankfully all of them are in the junkyard lol

That e500 was a sweet deal.
First time to see you and I have subscribed! Kudos. What’s the latest
what is the process to get to these lots
where can we find carmax reject cars?
Good luck with this new angle. You really need to put them in gear if for nothing else to see if they move forward and backward. The Chrysler products of that time were known for bad transmissions.
It was the Chrysler 2.7 engines that sludged up so badly and failed at relatively low miles. Many were shot at 50-60 thousand on the clock.
You're right! It's those 2.7L Chrysler engines not the 3.5. Opsie!

I’m not in the biz as the kids say but I feel like someone just paid full retail on that V6 Mustang. Jeez.
The Bentley suspension is supposed to be that way after a while, not necessarily a sign that is broken!
My grandpa had a 97 Intrepid!
One could get a false sense of security bidding higher than necessary since they disclose what they can find on the vehicles.
Thank you very much for the good you are doing. How would include me in your auction plan. Love you.
Do you have to have a wholesale license to bid? Or general public?
I would have loved to get that Benz
